What Is Drain Snaking?
Drain snaking, also known as augering, uses a flexible metal cable inserted into the pipe to break up or retrieve a clog. The rotating head cuts through or pulls out obstructions, allowing water to flow freely again. Snaking is typically best for:
- Minor clogs near the drain opening
- Hair buildup in bathroom sinks and tubs
- Small, isolated blockages
- Quick relief when the issue is limited in scope
Snaking is often the first step for simple drain problems. It is effective at punching through a clog and restoring drainage quickly. However, it does not completely clean the interior walls of the pipe. Grease, sludge, and mineral residue may remain, potentially leading to future clogs.
What Is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro jetting is an advanced drain cleaning method that uses highly pressurized water to thoroughly scour the inside of your pipes. A specialized hose and nozzle are inserted into the drain line, and high-pressure streams blast away buildup, debris, and even tree roots. Hydro jetting is ideal for:
- Heavy grease accumulation
- Sludge and soap buildup
- Recurring or stubborn clogs
- Slow drains throughout the home
- Sewer line blockages
Unlike snaking, hydro jetting does not simply create a path through the blockage. It cleans the entire pipe diameter, washing away years of buildup and restoring optimal flow. For homes with frequent drainage issues, hydro jetting offers a more comprehensive, long-lasting solution.
Choosing the Right Drain Cleaning Method
The best method depends on the severity and location of the clog. Our Peaden Pros are trained to inspect your plumbing system and determine whether snaking or hydro jetting is appropriate. Professional evaluation is critical because excessive pressure in fragile or damaged pipes can cause further issues if not handled correctly.
Attempting to clear tough clogs with chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and create safety hazards. Relying on experienced plumbing professionals ensures your system is treated properly and effectively.
